Winter warmth

When we tenderfooted travellers are heading uphill to a white winter, we do appreciate being fluffed up better than your average snowgoose. And Columbia Sportswear’s TurboDown jackets layer Omni-Heat synthetic insulation and re­flective technology over natural down for icebound adventurers’ safety — for the price of maybe just an extra night at a luxury hotel. Of course, they are water-re­sistant too, and come in plenty of colours and two degrees of insulation to keep us cool ladies and gents cosy on the ski slopes.
